"Through our Microgrants program, we are proud to invest in these grassroots leaders who are building community power and delivering critical services across Brooklyn."
"In New York there are lots of great youth enrichment programs that are mostly tailored for neurotypical kids, but there's not a lot out there that is inclusive and open and is accommodating for kids with and without diagnoses and with a wide range of different abilities."
Brooklyn Org introduced the Microgrants program to assist smaller nonprofits in Brooklyn with annual budgets under $100,000. This initiative complements existing funding programs for larger organizations. The program aims to empower grassroots leaders who provide essential services to their communities. The first round of microgrants awarded 38 recipients, each receiving up to $10,000. One notable recipient, Power Of We (POW!), offers inclusive youth enrichment activities for children with developmental differences and neurotypical children, focusing on accommodating individual needs and promoting inclusivity.
